Thank You For Progress All Of A Sudden

noticed, noted, named. I don’t know

why it works that way. Things grow

slowly, out of sight, then a door opens

and holy hands appear to grab our

shirt sleeves, twirling us around

to pay attention to the graduated

degrees of what grace has been up to

in this world while there were so many

other things to worry about and write 

down inside life’s thick ledger.

Thank you that we can’t see everything

at once, so that sometimes good things

double in size from the last time

we glanced their way.
